This is the dictionary picture of an 80s sports rock song. And Dire Straits were the dictionary picture of an 80s middle aged musical act. Not that there's anything wrong with either.
I miss the good ol' days. There was nothing like the mid 80's/90's, it was a magical time that could never happen again. Technology wasn't to a point that every person was constantly "plugged in" and awkward pauses could be smoothed over by "checking my cell phone texts". People had to communicate. If they didn't want to in person, they had to pick up a phone and call someone, and unless that person had fancy caller ID they had to guess at who it was. Music inspired everyone. :-(
This is not the original video of this song. The video of the sports action is great, but has nothing to do with the story line in the song. I have seen the original a long time ago in which "Johnny" looks like he is playing "1950s" rock-n-Roll in the London Tubes. Anyone know where we can find the original? Thanks.
@gglorybee I agree... Mark Knopfler has the kind of smile that makes you want to smile (of course, I was already smiling at Jack Sonni dancing barefoot in his stylin linen suit and head scarf)

At 3:14 in the video, right after the touchdown run, you'll see Michael Jordan flying out of the sky with a switch-hand slam dunk! Amazing! I stopped the video and you can even see the scoreboard behind MJ on the right side it says "BULLS 100", the other team is 102, so it was a close game! Early Jordan- Good Stuff!
love this song sooooo much <3 makes me so happy and this song is also really important to me because i performed to almoust 400 ppl in play while this song was going on. so i won one of my biggest fears listening to this. it gave me power :)
didnt the singer have a son? cuz i cant rember heard someone play this he had sunglasses and some black hair and i heard he died. im trying to figure this out -,- cuz i like it :}
This song actually saved my life, just last night. A lot of things have gone horribly wrong this past week, and I went to a karaoke bar.
Well I was seriously considering suicide and was going to sing "suicide is painless" (I know the number for it off by heart). But a different number popped into my head. I asked the DJ what song it was and it was this one. Never sang it before, never even looked it up. Someone gave me this song for a reason...And I'm still here to post because of it.
@roribeedm may "the unknown" keep giving you songs to keep living and keep being able to say, basically, "screw you" to those that wish you ill. (if you don't agree with that, just keep living to keep everything else ticked off ;) )
@roribeedm : I'm glad the cheerful music helped you! God loves you and will never give up on you, please don't ever give up on yourself. When I was a young girl of about 11, this song came out and cheered me up too... my family was kindof controlling, this song helped me know that life was to be enjoyed even if they seemed not to get that!
@roribeedm Have considered it myself because I have fibromyalgia and am in alot of pain, but that is not the answer there will always be be a better day, just think of the the people you would devastate if you did that glad this song saved your life, good luck.
